Chapter 55: Giving it Everything
Yu Boya didn't respond or refute, he knew that this matter would be known sooner or later, she who had always been thoughtful, would always be aware of it, and she couldn't hide it at all.
Yu Luoxi put away the scattered buns and put them on a plate, took out a few bowls of porridge from the kitchen, brushed his sleeves and sat down a little further away from them.
"How far has it go?" Her fingers tapped on the tabletop.
Yu Boya and Yu Yuexi know Yu Luoxi too well, and only when she thinks about something that she can't be controlled by herself, will she habitually tap on the table.
A few people couldn't hide it, so they also planned to have a showdown, and Yu Boya put on the charge of expiring the term calmly.
A few days ago, I heard that the cook said a few words about the soaring price of vegetables, saying that it was annoyed by the plague outside the city, so they kept an eye on it and sent someone to explore the truth outside the city.
The people who happened to be sent out to find out the truth of the news reported that there was already a purgatory on earth outside the city, with white lanterns hanging high in many houses, and many new graves had been added to the fields.
As a doctor, he probably couldn't see such a scene the most, so Yu Yuexi decided to transport the medicinal materials of the villa to the outside of the city, and set up a medical hall outside the city to help those who still had a trace of breath.
In the next few days, Yu Yuexi was horrified to find that this kind of epidemic will be contagious, although it is not very contagious, but there are also many people with weak bodies who are infected, and they can't afford to get sick, and even die in vain.
After some discussion, they decided not to return home at noon, because Yu Luoxi was weak, and they had no way to guarantee that they were safe, so they chose to go home in the dead of night every day, and when Yu Luoxi fell asleep, the kite would guard at the gate to inform them.
The first thing he did when he returned home was to wash the exposed parts of his body with mugwort leaves and boil water, and then try not to touch shared objects such as dishes and chopsticks, so Kite suggested to the cook that he would steam some steamed buns, which would not only allow them to eat hot food, but also avoid touching things next to them.
Yu Luo was stunned, it turned out that the reason why he was able to hide himself for so long was because the kite was ventilating on the side.
The kite shrunk aside, trying to reduce his sense of existence, for this matter, he felt a little guilty.
The clatter of "kites" stopped abruptly, and Yu Luoxi looked at the kite that secretly poked out half of its head in the kitchen.
She sighed and walked out with her head stiff, "Girl's command!" ”
"How much silver taels are left in the ledger?" Yu Luoxi turned the wrench on his finger and felt particularly comfortable.
"What do you mean, girl?" She thought she was the one who knew Yu Luoxi the best, and now that she was asked about this, she was a little unsure of what she was thinking at the moment.
Yu Luoxi waved his hand, "Boya, tomorrow you take my letter and go and take out all the silver taels in the account room; Yuexi, you will go to the city tomorrow with Boya, exchange it for the medicine you need and transport it to the outside of the city, and if there is still a surplus, you will exchange it for rice and grain to boil it for relief to the sick in need. ”
"Luoxi!" Yu Yuexi was frightened by her words, it was the savings she had saved after decades of hard work, and those were the dowry to be left to her future wedding, although she also looked forward to helping the sick more, but she was not willing to exchange it for Yu Luoxi's hard work, she just wanted to help those people within her ability.
"Don't say much, hurry up and finish eating and go to bed early!" Yu Luoxi's words were firm and unshakable.
Yuexi glanced at Boya, expecting him to open his mouth to stop one or two.
"I still have some savings, and tomorrow I will let Wu Wu exchange them for rice and grain to support my family's expenses." Yu Boya smiled heartlessly, and swallowed the remaining half of the bun in his hand.
Yu Yuexi held her forehead, and she knew that this Yu Boya would never stain the name of himself and Yu Dog's legs.
"I'll ...... tomorrow," Yu Luoxi thought for a moment and spoke.
"You are not allowed to go!"
"You are not allowed to go!"
Yu Yuexi and Yu Boya shouted in unison.
"I ......" She also wants to contribute her modest efforts in such troubled times.
"You just stay at home and help us cook some mugwort water at night, I can't be busy alone, right?" Yuexi winked vigorously at the kite.
The kite hurriedly spoke: "Yes, yes, yes, I have to burn a big pot of mugwort leaf water every day, I am really tired, and I have to chop wood to make a fire, I can't be busy at all, the girl will stay and help me, otherwise the epidemic will pass, I will be tired to death." ”
Yu Luoxi knew that no matter where he went, he would be a burden and couldn't help much, but they were resolute, so he didn't insist anymore, at least leaving them to settle down.
At this moment, she remembered the figure of Tan Mochen supporting Liu Qingfeng, at that time she only cared about checking Liu Qingfeng's situation, ignoring Tan Mochen's attempt to keep a distance from herself, now it seems that Liu Qingfeng is also infected with the epidemic.
"Yuexi, can you copy me a copy of the prescription to suppress the outbreak of the epidemic?" At this moment, she didn't want to add any more burden to Yu Yuexi.
Yu Yuexi responded, saying that she would write a copy to her when she returned to the room, and told her a lot about the symptoms and precautions of the epidemic, and she silently wrote it down.
In the dead of night, Yu Luoxi looked at the stars in the sky blankly, and sighed for a while, this life has seven sufferings, birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, love and parting, and begging.
The next day, Yu Luoxi sneaked out of the house while the kite went to the kitchen to serve food, grabbed the herbs for a few days according to Yuexi's prescription in the nearest pharmacy, and hurried to Tan Mochen's house.
The door was still closed, as if no one had ever entered, she pulled the iron ring and banged, shouting loudly: "Tan Mochen, Tan Mochen, you open the door, open the door quickly, I know you are at home." ”
She screamed for a long time, and the door did not move, as if to laugh at her, and her voice was a little hoarse, and no one answered her.
Suddenly, I thought of a good idea, so I trotted all the way back to my yard, and finally found a ladder in the warehouse, although it was not too high, but fortunately, Tan Mochen smashed the high part of the courtyard wall earlier, and he made a strong effort on his toes, and he should still be able to climb over.
She erected the ladder in the place where Tan Mochen often jumped on weekdays, holding the medicine bag in her mouth, and climbed up step by step, she was overjoyed to find that the height of the ladder was just enough for her to ride on the wall with her legs.
With a hard step, the person was riding on the wall, but the ladder had slipped to a position that she couldn't reach due to her last force, she only thought about being able to climb over the wall, but she didn't think about how to get down from Tan Mochen's side, at that moment, she finally knew what it meant to ride a tiger.
"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly came out.
She shook her body in shock and fell to the side in a panic.
